I've had a 20G iPod for 5 years (going-away gift from bus. partners). It never attracted my interest all that much.. I put a couple of CDs on it, but don't have a desire to listen to music when I am out and about, so it languished. Then talking with my sister about how she likes to listen to rightwing talk radio on the computer, I got the brilliant idea that she might like an iPod so she is not stuck in one place. So that's what I'm sending her... one of the tiny shuffle ones for now so she can download her shows and go. [And how great of a sister am I enabling her to listen to Laura Ingraham to her heart's content, huh??] I wanted to make sure she'd like this as a gift, and she said "it'd be like having a maid!!" since she could now do boring housework and listen at the same time.
So today I popped in a couple of shows myself.. and I got the fridge cleaned. Pretty awesome. Started off with Bill Moyers and this segment is just excellent:

Andrew J. Bacevich.. really good on the whole political system and foreign policy. [Vietnam vet, conservative, son killed in Iraq, so you have NO excuse not to listen!!!] I would vote for HIM for president! ;-)

I'm sure it'll take me a while to explore the universe of podcasts.. so in the meantime, is there anyone who subscribes to audio podcasts regularly? And if so, "what's on your iPod?" (besides music tracks..)
